Scenic Route

Over a decade ago, before we owned cell phones or a GPS,

our oldest son called home for help.

He was lost.

He explained how he had taken the wrong exit

and ended up in an unfamiliar place.

I had him describe his surroundings to me.

I instantly knew where he was

and shared how to get to where he needed to be.

Thankfully, I had been lost there before!

Some lessons are learned by making and correcting mistakes.

Sometimes frustrating situations are just little detours

that will end up blessing us and others.

I often take the scenic route.
